Our Programs

In 2011, the Garfield Park Community Council hosted a community-wide strategic planning session that helped residents, staff, and other partners define priorities and goals for the GPCC as it prepared to spin off from the Garfield Park Conservatory Alliance. The result was the identification of four focus areas: Housing, Business Development, Public Safety, and Wellness. In 2014, the GPCC began a Resident Leadership Initiative, which is enhancing each of these program areas by incorporating organizing, collective action and advocacy into issues that impact each.
